Mike “The Huckster” Huckabee’s obstinate obsession with staying in a race for a nomination that he cannot win could hand the nomination to someone that would damage our party beyond repair. Every vote for The Huckster is a vote for MexiCain. The media is discounting The Huckster just as they have discounted Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich from the beginning. He is a non-entity at this point with no real chance at winning the nomination but yet he still hangs on. This is fueling speculation among the Conservative base that he may be a shill for MexiCain. He knows that he cannot win and he knows that he is drawing some voters from Romney who he hates. This all being the truth, he is willing to hand the nomination to an individual who has made a career out of thumbing his nose at the very party he claims to be a member of. What other explanation is there for The Hucksters actions?
I will go on record now saying that if MexiCain becomes the nominee of my party, I’ll vote Democrat in the General election. Why? Because this country would have earned what we get. The depression that will ensue will be due to the Republican Party nominating someone who cannot be distinguished as any different than the Democrats. If we have a choice between a Democrat and a RINO, might as well vote for the genuine article I say.
Voters you have to wake up to the truth. If you are a social Conservative, at this point you only have one choice. Romney. If you are an economic Conservative, at this point you only have one choice. Romney. If you are a national security Conservative, you do have a choice because voting for MexiCain will hand the Dems a victory on social and economic issues. If you wish to lower taxes, MexiCain is not your man. If you wish to control spending, again, MexiCain is not your man. He talks a good talk, but his record says a different tune.
And let me be clear on this, each and every vote for The Huckster is a vote for MexiCain.
Some of you Huckster backers out there consider yourself social Conservatives. Don’t let Huckster’s evangelical rhetoric sway you. His anti-Mormon bigotry is no different than being a racist. Remember we live in a nation that protects religious freedom and your support of Huckster is a support of his bigotry.
I too am no fan of Romney’s religion. But as a Roman Catholic Huckster despises me just as much as he despises Romney. His religious background affords him no choice but to be single minded in his bigotry. As a Roman Catholic the biggest issue which sways my vote is the candidate’s stance on abortion. At this point, Romney’s position on abortion is acceptable. He is taking the Fred Thompson federalist approach which is overturn Roe v Wade and send it back to the states where the issue always belonged.
As an economic Conservative I feel more comfortable voting for someone who believes that the Bush tax cuts should be made permanent. MexiCain opposed the Bush tax cuts but now says they ought to be made permanent. Makes you wonder how genuine that desire is. Mike Huckabee says now he’s on board with The Fair Tax, but his record shows a tendency to raise taxes. Especially in the quest to institute a nanny state. Huckster would use the tax system to enforce nanny state policies against smokers, drinkers, and transfats. Do you want the President and the federal government tell you that you can’t eat that burger, smoke that cigarette, or have that drink? I don’t and I’m not even a smoker.
Evangelical Conservatives wake the hell up. The man you are backing is going to turn on you when he successfully beats down the only viable Conservative left in this race. When it looks like Romney cannot secure the nomination, Huckster will bow out and throw his support behind MexiCain. Is that what you truly want? Use your head, that’s the lump 3 feet above your ass.
People the choices are simple, MexiCain or Romney. That’s it. Any other considerations during your time in the voting booth are votes to support MexiCain. Under a MexiCain Presidency we would have an open border policy that would increase the number of illegals invading our country exponentially. Instead of 12-20 million illegals in this country try 40-50 million. If you think it is difficult to find a job that pays a livable wage now, elect MexiCain.
And one last time. Each and every vote for Huckster is a vote for MexiCain.
